The Little Frenchman And His Water Lots
By George Pope Morris (1802-1864)
[From The Little Frenchman and His Water Lots, with Other Sketches of the Times (1839), by George Pope Morris.]
Look into those they call unfortunate,
And, closer view'd, you'll find they are unwise.--Young.
Let wealth come in by comely thrift,
And not by any foolish shift: ‘Tis haste Makes waste: Who gripes too hard
the dry and slippery sand
Holds none at all, or little, in his hand.--Herrick.
Let well alone.--Proverb.
